Equidox Software includes free training and free support for your entire team.

Equidox software enables you to remediate PDFs quickly and easily, without compromising accuracy. Our Smart Detection Tools reduce the most tedious remediation tasks to just a few clicks.

Equidox Software is available as a cloud-based SaaS or in an on-prem environment. Concurrent licensing is available for any Equidox deployment.

When deployed as SaaS, Equidox can be accessed by PC or Mac from any location with internet access.

Equidox Software can also be deployed in a secure, on-premises environment. This is a web-based application that is designed to run on an organization’s own enterprise technology infrastructure as a virtual appliance.

Equidox’s AI-powered Smart Zone Detector uses computer vision to instantly detect elements in any PDF,  even those without existing tags. This dramatically reduces remediation time compared to traditional methods.

The adjustable zone detection slider delivers precise results for complex layouts, while the one-click Re-Order tool instantly corrects reading order. A built-in decimal system for element placement eliminates the need to renumber tags manually. This automated process eliminates 90% of the manual process of tagging elements in a PDF. HTML Preview ensures every user, including those relying on screen readers, experiences logical, natural reading flow.

The AI-powered List Detector automatically recognizes and properly tags lists, including multi-level and nested lists, in seconds. Simply adjust the slider and verify in HTML Preview for WCAG-compliant structure.

This ensures lists are announced correctly by assistive technologies, greatly improving usability and compliance without hours of manual tagging.

Tables are among the most challenging accessibility tasks, but Equidox’s Smart Table Detector sets the standard for table tagging. It automatically detects rows, columns, and complex cell structures, even in challenging layouts. Sliders allow rapid fine-tuning, while built-in tools set multi-level headers, merge or span cells in seconds.

An instant HTML Preview verifies that the table will read correctly with screen readers, critical for meeting WCAG and Section 508 standards. Equidox even auto-populates the table summary with the number of rows and columns, headings, and any spanned cells.

Remediating PDF forms has never been faster. With Equidox, you simply enter form tooltips directly in the Form Pane, no navigating complex tag trees or performing multi-step manual processes. Equidox automatically applies proper tagging at export, producing fully functional, accessible, compliant forms.

Equidox simplifies alt text creation by letting you add descriptions page-by-page or in bulk via the Image Pane. Collaborate with subject matter experts for complex descriptions, or artifact decorative images to remove unnecessary noise for screen reader users. This centralized approach ensures every image is either described or properly marked as decorative. 

Set heading levels instantly with intuitive keyboard shortcuts (H1 = “1”, H2 = “2”, H3 = “3”). Built-in validation flags any logical errors prior to export, ensuring a clean, navigable hierarchy for screen reader users. 

Equidox’s Zone Transfer feature redefines efficiency for recurring documents. Copy the complete tag structure from one PDF file to another. Perfect for meeting minutes, recurring reports, multi-language editions, or updated versions. This saves hours while maintaining consistent, compliant output.
